As part of Student Appreciation Week, we are proud to recognize our graduating library student employees and celebrate the incredible role they play in making the library a welcoming, accessible space for our entire community. Austin Robertson, Kayla Kelly and Matt Shor have been instrumental in keeping the library services running! 

Austin, Kayla and Matt assist with faculty research and staff the desk on weekends, nights, and during finals. They assist students with course reserves, printing, scanning and library computers and are a terrific source of information about the library and law school.   

In the words of Anne Rajotte, Associate Director of Research, Instruction, and Scholarship:

“Austin and Kayla are valued members of the library team who help create a positive first impression every day. Their warm, welcoming presence at the front desk and their readiness to assist students, faculty, and visitors, makes them an essential part of our daily operations. We will miss them!”

Our Research Assistants work behind the scenes conducting legal research for the law school faculty members, greatly contributing to the research needs of the law school, law library and society as a whole.  Tanya Johnson reflects on the contributions of Matt Shor:

Matt has been an outstanding research assistant, bringing a thoughtful, philosophical perspective that leads him to question assumptions and think critically about the bigger picture. 

  Adam Mackie also highlights Matt’s impact, noting his dedication and the meaningful contributions he has made through his research work:

Matt possesses two qualities I highly value, a relentless curiosity that seeks to understand things as they are, and, more importantly, the drive to improve upon them.  I have no doubt that wherever he ends up, we’ll all be better off as a result. 

To all of our graduating 3L’s, thank you!  We wish you all the best and hope you stay in touch as you embark upon your legal careers!   We will miss you all!

As this semester concludes, we want to pay tribute to our graduating library student employees!  Sinead Brennan-Gatica, Farah Jean, Olivia Kaminski and Josh Maddox have been instrumental in keeping the library services running!  They assist with faculty research and staff the desk on weekends, nights, and during finals. They assist students with course reserves, printing, scanning and library computers and are a terrific source of information about the library and law school.   In the words of Anne Rajotte, Associate Director of Research, Instruction, and Scholarship:

Sinead and Olivia are a vital part of our student employee team. As our weekend workers, we would not have been able to be open Saturdays and Sundays without them. We will miss them!

Our Research Assistants work behind the scenes conducting legal research for the law school faculty members, greatly contributing to the research needs of the law school, law library and society as a whole.  Tanya Johnson and Adam Mackie note the contribution Josh, Farah and Olivia have made to the law library:

Farah and Josh have been the backbone of our research assistant team for the past two years. Last May, we were also fortunate to have Olivia join us, and her contributions quickly became an integral part of our work. The quality of their efforts has enabled us to meet the research needs of our faculty, contributing to the reputation of the library and ultimately, UConn Law. We can’t thank them enough and wish them all the best with what comes next!

To all of our graduating 3L’s, thank you!  We wish you all the best and hope you stay in touch as you embark upon your legal careers!   We will miss you all!
